Abstract

Every day 28 youth in the United States die from firearm violence [1]. Racial inequity in firearm violence is stark and longstanding [1]. Protecting youth requires tackling root causes of violence, including structural oppression, racism, poverty, and systemic divestment in communities, and addressing how firearms have been and continue to be used as tools of racial subjugation. School shootings and mass shootings often promote a national dialogue about firearm safety and account for a small proportion of firearm-related deaths.
